What is all the Hullabaloo about HAFA and Short Sales?

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:30:40 -0600

One of the most knowledgable and visible realtors specializing in short sales in Florida, Wendy Rulnik, wrote this exceptional post about new HAFA program, and I thought it so good that I wanted to share it with my readers.

Via Wendy Rulnick "Its Wendy!" Destin Short Sales (Rulnick Realty, Inc.):

As you may have heard on the news, the U.S. Treasury is trying to make short sales, well, shorter! Many homeowners and buyers have been plagued for waiting months for short sale approvals. Realtors are at their wits end. Lenders are overloaded with requests. Waiting five months for a short sale approval is becoming the norm. The new program that is supposed to help is called “Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program” or “HAFA”.

What Treasury is trying to do is help streamline the short sale process by suggesting guidelines to the participating lenders. That’s “suggestions” and “guidelines”. That does not equal “requirements” in the way I read it.

Here is a summary of the proposed short sale changes, who is eligible, and what you might expect to change if you do qualify for the HAFA program. Remember, I am condensing here and pointing out what might be important to you, the homeowner, as it relates to short sales. There are many details, requirements and forms that make up this new program.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?

You might be eligible for HAFA if your lender participates in the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), and your mortgage is not underwritten by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. HAMP offers you the opportunity for assistance by lowering your payments or delaying payments to keep you in your home. You must meet the HAMP requirements as follows, to be part of HAFA, whether or not you choose a modification. These qualifications are:

1) You have missed payments or are about to default

2) The home is your primary residence

3) You got your primary mortgage before Jan. 1, 2009 and your balance is less than $729,750

4) Your monthly mortgage payment is greater than 31% of your gross income

The HAFA Supplemental Directive states that the servicers (your lenders) have the “option to determine the extent to which short sales or deeds-in-lieu will be offered”. So this does not look like a slam dunk, guys!

Expanding on that, HAFA states that a participating lender must follow its investor guidelines to create their own policy, with criteria for your eligibility to include: how cooperative and “motivated” you are, the amount of the loss on your mortgage, and local market conditions, among other things. In addition, HAFA states that it is up to the servicer and investor to decide if allowing you to be in this special short sale program is in their best interest. That tells me they have a lot of leeway in deciding if you will benefit from HAFA at all.

THE GOOD NEWS if you get a short sale through this program, there can be no deficiency judgment later! That will help many leery Bank of America short sale sellers, whose approval letters reference the right to seek a deficiency in the future. More good news- your lender may not ask you for a promissory note or a cash contribution if they participate in HAFA and you do a short sale. More “positives”…

POSITVE: If you are eligible for this program, and your lender participates, you must be given the chance to do a short sale or deed-in-lieu prior to the lender foreclosing.

POSITIVE: The program says you do not have to resubmit your financial paperwork for the short sale (a big pain for many short sale sellers) after you have already provided it for HAMP.

POSITIVE: Your lender will determine the acceptable net from your anticipated short sale prior to you participating in the program. This should save time versus a typical short sale, where the lender determines if a contract is acceptable after it is submitted for consideration. The minimum proceeds will be stated in terms of actual dollar amount, percentage of market value or percentage of your list price.

POSITIVE: Your lender will state what closing costs they will pay for the sale in advance. This will save contracts where the buyer asks for too much in closing costs- no wasted negotiating.

POSITIVE: You will receive $1500 relocation incentive upon closing your short sale.

*** OTHER THINGS you need to know:

You cannot remain in the home as a tenant after closing.

You must not be related to the buyer (arms length).

You cannot earn a real estate commission if you are a licensee and sell the home yourself.

You may be required to make payments deemed “affordable” by HAFA until your property is sold. This is based on a calculation of your income and expenses.

You must maintain the property and pay association dues until it is sold.

The servicer will pay your junior lienholder up to $3000 (or 3% of the junior balance) to complete the short sale, but YOU must take care of other impediments to selling, for example, an IRS tax lien or a judgment which might affect your sale. Your senior lienholder gets a monetary incentive when your junior lienholder waives the right to a future deficiency. This part of the program “may” inspire better terms from your second mortgage holder. NOTE: HAFA does not state this as a requirement, though, so you may still have a responsibility to pay your junior lienholder cash or a promissory note if they agree to the short sale!

If you have mortgage insurance (MI) on your note, the MI company must agree to waive its right to a cash contribution from you or note or you won’t qualify for HAFA.

MORE PROCEDURES: When you receive an offer on your property, you will have three business days, with your Realtor’s assistance, to get a copy of the contract, buyer pre-approval, and junior lien documentation to your lender.   If you are using the standard HAFA program with a pre-approved net price (SSA), you should receive an approval or rejection with 10 business days, or about three weeks of receipt. However, if you have not gone through the HAMP modification program and standard SSA (sorry I am throwing in acronyms again), then your approval time will be lengthened. In this situation (alternate RASS), the program requires 14 more days to allow you to decide if you want a modification (well, of course at this point you don’t or you would have already done so, right), and for you to provide all the financial documentation necessary.

Finally, don’t expect to get off the hook with credit reporting or tax obligations from your short sale. Even with HAFA, your short sale will be reported “account paid in full for less than full balance” and you should consult with an accountant to determine any tax liabilities from your cancelled debt.

There is a lot to this new HAFA program, which officially starts on April 5, 2010 (although your lender may participate sooner). How many people it will actually help is questionable. If it does work, it will speed up your short sale. If it does not, there are still many options available to you.

CC & R's - Hmmmm? Capricious, crazy rules? Conserving community richness?

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:32:25 -0600

Nancy Conner put together this great basic explanation of CC&R's. She gave me permission to share, so please read and enjoy.

Via Nancy Conner, ABR - Olympia/Thurston County WA (City Realty Inc):

Actually neither of those are the correct meaning of CC & R's - although I've had buyers who would argue for both possible definitions! CC &R's actually stand for Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions, and many neighborhoods have these rules which are binding on all owners within the neighborhood. The rules are typically initially placed on the subdivision by the developer and they can address a wide range of matters.

If you are buying in an existing neighborhood, know that the CC &R's may regulate such things as your ability to park a vehicle on the street, keep livestock. build a shop, conduct a home business, fence the yard (or specify what material and height the fence may be), even paint your house a color that isn't "approved".

And if you are buying a lot to build on in a neighborhood with CC & R's, be sure to check what they cover, as they can specify minimum square footage, maximum height, permitted exterior materials or roof coverings, as well as require the architectural committee to approve your house plans before construction.

Many times a neighborhood with CC & R's has a neighborhood association which has the right to enforce the restrictions. Enforcement may include the ability of the association to fine owners who are in violation or even bring a lawsuit against them. The idea behind restrictions in a subdivision is that some uniformity and prevention of nuisances or eyesores will benefit all the property owners and maintain property values. But it is very important for buyers to know what rules will apply to the property they want to buy, to make sure the restrictions will not prevent them from using the property as they planned.

So whether you think you would most like living in a neighborhood with CC & R's or if you want to avoid them at all costs (and there's no right answer there - it is totally up to you!), be sure and discuss this with your agent so they can help you get a copy to review or make approval of the CC & R's a condition of your offer. That way you won't have a big surprise after you move in & find out your property includes "Crabby, Crazy & Ridiculous" CC & R's that you knew nothing about!

Missing ARcamp in San Fracisco is a Bummer

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:55:27 -0600

I'm now 'out in the cold' twice over. As a result of the surgery today I will miss the Real Estate Success Summit in Denver December 2nd-3rd, for which I hold prepaid hotel rooms, car, and airfare for myselft and my partner. Since we were flying out on the 1st I was missing ARcamp in San Francisco on the 1st. Doctor says 'no driving' also means no travel, on BART or otherwise. I'm hoping to see a ton of great feedback and tweets. Please share your news and experiences. I promise to comment and know that others will be glad to do the same.

Christmas Decorations in San Francisco CA at the Hyatt Regency in the Financial District

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:49:23 -0600

Although there are a lot of Christmas decorations all over the financial district in San Francisco, the Christmas decorations at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco CA in the Financial District are the best! Their light strings in the lobby look to hang from a 5th floor atrium. Their Christmas Village showcases are unbelieveable as are their lage nutcrackers. The Palace Hotel was nicely decorated as well.

I did take photos, but they're on my new phone so I have to figure out how to get them from the interior storage on my phone. It would have been so easy had I stored them on the memory card in the phone. Duh!

Saturday night in the Emergency Room at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek CA

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:43:12 -0600

Well, it's been an interesting 24 hours. The pains started just 24 hours ago, but I've already been admitted to the hospital, had surgery and been released, sans the gall bladder. John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek CA is the very best!

As medical experiences go, this one was a '10'. Everyone was kind, helpful and efficient at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA. Of course, the fact that I went in stating that my primary symptom was chest pains did surely get some initial attention, but when it was discovered that this was not a life-threatening experience the great attention and service continued.

I had an EKG, chest x-ray, bloodwork and ultrasound in short order. Once we had the diagnosis, however, the surgery rooms were filled with activity from the trauma center, so I was booked for 10am surgery to remove the gall bladder.

Doctor has issued some explicit instructions (including no driving for 3 days), but you can be certain if more visits to the ER are in my future I will be headed directly to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek.

My sincere thanks to the Great Staff at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek CA
